    Everyone is familiar with ducks, it is a common poultry breeding, and there are many ducks in rural areas. There are many ways to breed ducks, which can be caged, free-range, or semi-free-range, and what I want to introduce to you today is the cage duck technology.

    1. Caged duck technology1. Duck cage setting

    Each duck cage is 2 meters long and wide, with a barbed wire fence at the bottom and a 50 cm high duck fence around it. The fence is nailed with wooden strips 2 cm wide and 2 cm thick, each with a distance of 3 4 cm. In addition, feed troughs and water tips can be set up in front of the fence so that ducks can stick their heads out of the cracks in the wooden strips to eat and drink.

    If it is caged, the cage can be stacked on 3 or 4 floors according to the room space. The roof of the lower cage is the manure board of the upper layer. Nail a few wooden strips to the manure board to make a skeleton, and put a thick plastic sheet on the skeleton, and the duck manure can fall on the plastic sheet through the barbed wire.

    The manure receiving board is 20 cm away from the upper barbed wire fence to facilitate daily manure removal.

    2. Duckling management

    Potassium permanganate water should be drunk within 24 hours of hatching, and feeding can be trained after drinking. Temperature control 1 3 eyes are 35 at eye age, 4 7 days old at 32 days, 8-14 days old at 30 days, 15 21 days old at 28 days old, 22 28 days old at 25 days. Humidity control is 70% at 1 7-day age, 65% at 8-14-day age, and 60% at 15-28-day age.

    Light control 1 10 mesh age 24 hours full illumination; After 11 days of age, natural light is provided during the day, and the lights can be left on at night.

    3. Epidemic prevention measures

    Ducklings 1 5 days old were treated with permanganic acid solution for drinking water, 6 8 days old with dysentery solution for drinking water, 9 13 days old with potassium permanganate solution for drinking water, and 14 16 days old with dysentery solution for drinking water. The plastic sheet manure board under the cage is cleaned once a morning, and the cleaned manure is used to feed pigs and fish. The outside of the duck house is disinfected with lime water every 7 days.

    Keep the environment dry. Do not feed moldy and rotten feed. Usually, drugs such as compound dichloromycetes, oxytetracycline, and calcium tablets can be added to the feed to prevent the occurrence of diseases.

    Once the duck becomes ill, the veterinarian should be called immediately** and the sick duck should be kept in isolation.

    Second, the advantages and disadvantages of cage ducks <>

    1. Advantages

    First of all, the cage is completely under artificial control, and it is less affected by external stress, which can effectively prevent some infectious diseases and parasitic diseases. In addition, the cage feed is nutritionally perfect, the feed intake is even, the slaughter time is shortened to about 60 days, and the feed cost is saved by about 10%. Finally, mechanized equipment can be used for cage rearing to reduce labor intensity.

    2. Disadvantages

    Caged broiler ducks due to the small range of activities, the activities of meat ducks are restricted, can not forage freely, in addition to some diseases, such as lack of calcium and phosphorus, resulting in unstable standing, and even paralysis and death.

    The task of defending the house, in addition to dogs, also has people with geese. Geese are as aggressive as dogs, but expensive things are eaten less, goose eggs can be raw, fat people can kill or sell meat, and dogs will not be killed. For farmers who raise chickens at home, dogs pose a threat to chickens, and if you bite a few a day, it is more appropriate to raise geese.

    Another benefit of raising chickens and geese is dealing with animals that threaten the safety of the flock, such as rats, snakes, and weasels. Especially when dealing with weasels, geese naturally have this advantage. After all, they are aggressive and large enough to deal with weasels.

    Some experienced chicken farmers believe that goose excrement will play a role in fearing weasels.

    It is better to raise a few geese when raising chickens, but they have been crossbred and in the field of poultry farming, polyculture is actually a more dangerous practice, so it is also necessary to pay attention to the drawbacks. Many infectious diseases common to chickens, ducks, geese and other birds can cause avian influenza, Newcastle disease, E. coli, avian cholera and other infectious diseases. In particular, geese are waterfowl, and the possibility of contracting avian influenza is greatly increased if they come into contact with water from the outside, but sometimes the flu is asymptomatic to geese, but the avian influenza virus they carry can be fatal to chickens.

    The most feared thing in local chicken farming is wild weasels. Geese are very vigilant. If a weasel invasion is detected, the goose will make a loud cry and will also have attack power, which can protect the chickens.

    Goose excrement has many advantages that many people don't know about. In other words, it can exert a bactericidal effect, prevent plague in chickens, and effectively control the occurrence of diseases. There is a high chance that there are snakes and rats around the farm that are harmful to the chickens.

    Geese are the natural predators of these animals and protect the flock. According to local chicken farmers, there are many roles in raising geese.

    Native chickens are basically as vigilant as they are dead at night, but unlike geese, geese are very vigilant, and at night there is a little movement, thinking that weasels will attack their own kind, so they often attack and call weasels. Because geese have a habit of meeting strange animals and people, they are also highly aggressive. Goose excrement has a limiting effect on weasels.

    Plague often occurs in chicken farms, and goose droppings have a certain bactericidal effect and can play a certain protective role. Chicken farms can easily attract natural predators such as snakes and rats. Geese happen to be the natural predators of these animals, so they can protect the flock.

Some people say that raising a dog can also prevent theft, here I want to say that dogs are more flexible, often running around in the flock will also frighten the chickens, affecting the normal life of the chickens, and there is that the dog may bite the chicken. In addition, geese can eat the same feed as chickens, and it is also very troublesome to raise dogs to make food for dogs; This is one reason to keep geese in flocks;

    The chicken farm raises a few geese to prevent theft.

    If you raise a dog, the cost of breeding is too high, you need to be fed constantly, and you need meat to be able to raise it, and dogs are sometimes the natural enemies of chickens, so it is a good choice to raise geese to prevent theft.

    The habit of geese is to call when they encounter unfamiliar animals (including people), and they are also aggressive. It can wake up the owner, prompt that there is a strange animal coming, and then raising geese will not add a lot of burden, and it can be sold on the market when it is raised. It's a win-win-win.

    Summary. Hello dear <>, I'm glad to answer for you. Compared with chickens, ducks and geese, chickens are best raised, and there are not so many technical requirements, on the contrary, ducks and geese will have high technical requirements.

    Which chickens, ducks and geese are easy to raise.

    Hello dear <>, I'm glad to answer for you. Compared with chickens, ducks and geese, chickens are best raised, and there are not so many technical requirements, on the contrary, ducks and geese will have high technical requirements.

    Pro, and breeding chickens, ducks and geese, a very important reason is to sell money, and the greater the market demand, the easier it is, don't worry about no one buying. You can think about it, in daily life, eating chicken is the most common, followed by duck, and finally goose.

    It is understood that a goose seedling costs one or twenty yuan, or even twenty or thirty yuan, and the chicken seedling can be bought for 1-2 yuan, and the duck seedling can be bought for 2-3 yuan, so the cost of raising geese is much higher in terms of the cost of seedlings. In the process of breeding, the amount of geese eating is also higher than that of chickens and ducks, some people say that an adult goose is equivalent to the amount of food of half a pig, and it is constantly eating. Although there is a certain amount of exaggeration, the amount of goose food is indeed not small, resulting in high feeding costs.

    Feed is not cheap, today's corn is about a catty, wheat is about a catty, so in the case of high feed costs, let some farmers not raise geese.

    Pro, there is another point, chickens, ducks, geese have to bear the risk of disease, especially some flu, chickens relative to ducks and geese, the cost is low, the risk is smaller, if the process of raising geese or ducks, do not know what the reason, died some, the cost is relatively large, increasing the risk of breeding.

    Raising chickens and ducks, low cost, small space, geese are not suitable for small yard breeding, high cost, suitable for professional large groups of stocking, there is enough space, activity pasture, stocking, there are a large number of grass, wild vegetables, water sources, save feed, reduce breeding costs. The market decides. The demand for goose eggs and goose meat is relatively small, and there will be fewer people who breed it, maybe.

    Geese huddle together to keep warm. At this time, you should separate the geese, preferably less than 8 geese per small group, and install heating equipment to maintain a certain temperature. This is the first difficulty in raising geese.

    The geese eat a lot and poop a lot, and the bedding of the goose shed must be changed every day, otherwise the geese are squatting in the water prison and the workload is quite large. The amount of food of geese is too large, the amount of food of a goose is equivalent to half a pig, and the output value is not as high as that of geese. Moreover, the cry of the goose is quite loud, very noisy, and it is not restless at night, and it will chase and bite people and livestock and poultry, so there are fewer people who gradually breed.

    The production cycle of raising geese is longer than that of chickens and ducks, the cost of feed is high, and the goose seedlings are less than chickens and ducks, expensive (there are more goose seedlings in large-scale breeding areas), the eggs and goose meat produced are not sold enough, and the goose meat is considered to be a hair in the Chinese people, most of them dare not eat, although the goose feathers are more valuable, although the goose meat is more expensive Although the goose meat is in many big cities, it belongs to the high-end dishes, and the people in the countryside, many people do not eat goose meat, because the meat of the goose meat is rough, and there is no fine fiber of the local chicken, and there are really some people in the countryside who do not like goose meat.

    It's because of market demand. In this era of rapid development, people's requirements for quality of life are gradually improving; Therefore, there are a variety of delicacies in the market, among which chicken and duck have the largest variety of delicacies; For example, the market for chickens and ducks is larger than the market for geese! In our rural area, the necessary thing is chicken, duck and fish, there is a saying in our place"No chicken, no feast", that is to say, if there is no chicken in the wedding banquet, the host is embarrassed and has no face.

    It can be seen how common eating chicken and duck meat is in rural areas.
